A reproduction copy of Blaeu’s map of New Netherlands and New England. The map, oriented west at top, shows the coast of the 1635 territories of New Netherland and New England. Images of turkeys, beavers, deer, bears, and other fur-bearing animals decorate the landscape. On the left, illustrations of Native American figures rowing canoes as well as European sailing ships populate the Atlantic Ocean (“Mar del Nord”). An illustrated cartouche features two Native American figures on either side underneath the United Netherlands heraldic coat of arms.
